Hearing Chen Yuanyuan's words, Song Qingshu paused. "No way, she looked like she wanted to kill me."
"Who asked you to trick her into coming to Yan Jing City? To a certain extent, her current misfortune is all because of you." Chen Yuanyuan glared at him.
Song Qingshu smiled embarrassedly. "I didn't have a choice back then."
Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but think of the first time she met Song Qingshu. She was a high and mighty Wang Fei and he was respectful to her. Who would have thought that one day she would lie under him and enjoy himself …
Thinking of all those embarrassing scenes, Chen Yuanyuan's face heated up. But she suddenly thought of her daughter's thoughts and the blush faded.
"What do you plan to do with Ah Ke?" Chen Yuanyuan suddenly blinked her large, watery eyes and looked at him quietly.
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. "Ah Ke is the most favored Imperial Consort of the Southern Song now, I don't need to arrange anything."
"Most favored?" Chen Yuanyuan was a bit angry at Song Qingshu's pretense. "It's not like you don't know Ah Ke's situation in the palace. She has the title of Imperial Consort, but not the real Imperial Consort. Alone in the palace, she has to face the open and hidden attacks of the other concubines. She has always longed for freedom outside and is waiting for someone to save her."
At this point, Song Qingshu could only reply, "Don't worry. Actually, I promised her before that I would save her from the palace in the future."
The reason he didn't save her now was because the impact was too bad. The most favored Imperial Consort in the palace eloped with someone. Even if Zhao Gou wasn't her real husband and didn't have any feelings for her, he would still investigate for the sake of his reputation. Once he was found out, a war was unavoidable. Song Qingshu was usually a bit lustful, but he was very clear-headed at critical moments. How could he start a war for a woman?
Secondly, Ah Ke shouldered the responsibility of his father, Wu Sangui, and the Southern Song Alliance. Now that Wu Sangui was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position in the war against the Manchurian Qing, if he lost the Southern Song Alliance as well, the situation would only get worse. Ah Ke himself did not want to leave at this time and cause his father to fall into a desperate situation.
"With Ah Ke's current identity, even if you rescue her, I'm afraid she won't be able to show her face in public for the rest of her life. How do you plan to settle her?" Chen Yuanyuan was not very satisfied with his answer and continued to ask.
"How?" Song Qingshu pondered for a while and replied, "Don't worry. When the time comes, I'll find a place where the forces of the Southern Song and Wu Sangui can't reach and settle her down. If she meets someone she likes, I'll prepare a generous dowry for her. I promise that she won't suffer a loss."
Chen Yuanyuan faintly sighed, "Ah Ke is a Junzhu, and now she is the Imperial Concubine. How can she still like an ordinary man? Moreover, which man would dare to marry her? "
She paused for a moment and looked at Song QingShu with a faint smile. "Besides, are you willing to let her marry another man?"
Song Qingshu's heart jumped and he said somewhat unnaturally, "Why wouldn't I be willing … …"
Chen Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at him. "Ah Ke's beauty is not below mine. I understand you men very well. How could you be willing to let her fall into the arms of another man?"
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. "You misunderstand. I've always liked to help others achieve their dreams."
"Help others achieve their dreams?" Seeing that he still didn't admit it, Chen Yuanyuan finally became angry. "That time, who sneaked into Ah Ke's palace and … … did those things to the two of us?"
Thinking of the thing in her mouth when she woke up, the taste was still fresh in Chen Yuanyuan's memory. At that time, she felt very disgusted, but now that her relationship with Song Qingshu had developed to this point, she felt more ashamed and angry when she thought about it.
Song Qingshu smiled embarrassedly. "That night, I actually didn't do anything to you. It was Yuanzhi who wanted to take revenge on the two of you for hurting her so badly before, so she deliberately scared you … …"
After listening to him tell the whole story, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but spit. "That girl is really mean."
"She is also a poor person. I hope you don't blame her." Song Qingshu couldn't help but speak up for Li Yuanzhi.
"Don't worry. It was us who hurt her first. It's fair to pay back what we did." Some time ago, Chen Yuanyuan lived with Li Yuanzhi in the Cold Palace. The grievances between the two women had already disappeared, and they became good friends.
"Although nothing really happened that night, but …" Chen Yuanyuan suddenly raised her head, with a trace of inexplicable meaning in her eyes. "Haven't you ever thought that something really happened?"
Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly denied it. "I'm not a beast. How can I have that kind of dirty thought?" As he said this, he secretly cried out in shame.
Chen Yuanyuan spat. "Bah, it's not like I don't know what you men think. With my and Ah Ke's beauty, who knows how many men in this world want to get us mother and daughter into the same bed? Don't tell me you haven't thought about it."
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. "I did have such a thought, but it was only a fleeting thing. The reason why people are different from beasts is that people have propriety, justice, integrity, and shame … …"
Chen Yuanyuan reached out and pressed her hand on his lips. Her eyes suddenly revealed a hint of shyness. "What if … what if I don't mind?"
Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat, and his voice became a little hoarse. "What did you say?"
Chen Yuanyuan let go of his hand and slowly walked to the window. Looking at the moon in the sky, she said rather sadly, "I've been homeless all my life and experienced many hardships. I don't want Ah Ke to repeat my fate. But now the world is in chaos, and the countries are fighting. The situation is worse than the end of the Ming Dynasty. Ah Ke has beauty that can cause the downfall of countries, but she doesn't have the ability to protect herself. If Zhao Gou was a normal man, being an imperial concubine in the Southern Song Dynasty would be a good ending. But … … Ah Ke is fated to not be able to stay in the palace forever. When the new emperor ascends to the throne, Ah Ke will not have an heir to rely on. I don't know how pitiful her ending will be. "
"Actually, although this ending is a little pitiful, she can at least enjoy at least ten years of glory and wealth. But now that the countries in the north are eyeing her, and the Southern Song Dynasty has always been weak, the pitiful ending of those imperial concubines during the Jingkang Rebellion is still fresh in our minds. I don't want Ah Ke to suffer that kind of pitiful fate in the future."
Chen Yuanyuan suddenly turned around. "That's why I want to find a strong man to protect her. I've thought about it, and you're the most suitable candidate. In addition, Ah Ke has feelings for you. There's no better choice than this."
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. "With our current relationship, how can I have anything to do with Ah Ke?"
"Why not?" Chen Yuanyuan looked at him quietly. "Anyway, other people don't know about our relationship. When the time comes, I will quietly retreat behind the scenes and let Ah Ke become your woman on the surface."
"But I don't want to lose you!" Song Qingshu hurriedly grabbed her hand.
Chen Yuanyuan's face blushed and she said timidly, "I didn't forbid you from … from coming to find me, as long as no one finds out."
"Ah?" Song Qingshu was instantly overjoyed.
Chen Yuanyuan continued, "But you must give Ah Ke a status equal to that of the Ninth Princess, Miss Ren, and the others."
"This …" Song Qingshu hesitated. Putting aside the fact that Ah Ke had once been an imperial concubine of the Southern Song, she was Wu Sangui's daughter. Ah Jiu probably could not tolerate her.
"I know this is very difficult, but I know you will think of a way." Chen Yuanyuan paused, her expression suddenly showing a hint of shyness. "To make up for all the trouble and trouble this has caused you, when the time comes, I can … serve you with Ah Ke."
"Is that true?" Song Qingshu instantly became spirited. Thinking of that incomparably erotic scene, his entire heart beat twice as fast. "Okay, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely think of a way."
"Bah, you bastard, you really have been thinking of getting us mother and daughter on the same bed!" Chen Yuanyuan's expression instantly changed. Her eyes were filled with anger, and there was no trace of shyness from before.
"Ah?" Not expecting Chen Yuanyuan to change her attitude so quickly, Song Qingshu was stunned for a moment.
"You bastard, get out!" Chen Yuanyuan picked up a pillow from the side and kept hitting him while pushing him out.
When the door was closed, Song QingShu finally reacted. It turned out that Chen Yuanyuan had been testing him on purpose. As soon as he thought of that incomparably alluring proposal, he instantly lost his mind and let down his guard.
"You can't play like this. You are enforcing the law by entrapment!" Song Qingshu shouted through the door.
"Who asked you to have such a dirty mind in your heart? Get out!" Chen Yuanyuan had always spoken very softly, but at this time she was obviously really angry.
Song Qingshu knew that she was now angry. No matter what he said, it would only add fuel to the fire. He had to smile bitterly and said, "I did have evil thoughts about this matter … Calm down first, I won't disturb you."
The response to him was the sound of a teacup breaking on the door. Song Qingshu smiled bitterly and had to turn around and leave.
When returning to his room, Song Qingshu had to sigh that Chen Yuanyuan really deserved to be the first of the eight beauties in Qinhuai. Her acting was so good that those Oscar winners and Best Actress in the previous life were far inferior to her. Her expression and tone just now were simply from the heart, or he would not be so easily fooled.
Suddenly, he thought of something and looked in the direction of Chen Yuanyuan's room. "What you said just now was really just a simple test …"
After this incident, several people in Prince Qi's Mansion couldn't sleep, but in the entire Lin 'an City, they were not the only ones who couldn't sleep. In the Jia's Mansion, Jia Shidao looked at the beautiful young woman kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face and said, "Before, you reported that Wu Tiande was exhausted, but why is he still lively today?"
He had just returned from the Imperial Palace after attending a banquet, and the smile he had in the Imperial Palace was instantly replaced by frost. He immediately summoned the relevant people to start questioning.
The beautiful young woman was naturally Qin Keqing. She had always been afraid of the unpredictable master of the Jia's Mansion. Kneeling there, she trembled all over and said, "I don't know what happened. Last night, he and I … and I were entangled all night." Thinking of that mysterious man, that feeling that she had never felt before, Qin Keqing's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
Next to her, Jia Zhen felt sorry for her and couldn't help but speak for her, "Uncle, Keqing didn't lie. Is it possible that the internal energy that Wu Tiande practiced is a little special?"
Jia Shidao frowned and murmured to himself with some uncertainty, "Today, Wu Tiande's Qi seemed to be a little bit like the Shaolin's' Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture '…"
